LEGIT this is how it is!! Once you understand that though. A playthrough of this game can basically be melted through. The quest to obtain Choas and Ultima were the bitch. Zodiark was EASY, you simply have to kill him RIGHT AFTER darkja is cast before his Paling goes up.
I was struggling with zodiark a little bit, but then I looted a great trango off of him without wearing any thief cuffs. MIND BLOWN! Now I can kill him in 3 hits.

Let's have an understanding........... I will work on speaking more clearly from now own and I may have to get a new Mic. I know that it's hard to understand me sometimes, but the only times people post comments about the way I talk are in my POPULAR videos. You can hate on the video and dislike it all you want, I don't give a fuck. However,I will not tolerate people insulting me on my talking. I don't mind advice or a little contructive critizism, but posting insulting comments is something I'm not going to put up with. And I DEFINITY will not tolerate racial comments. Yes, I'm black...and if you have a problem with my skin color, you need to unsubscribe to me right now. Saying things like " Black people can't talk" only proves your stupidity and ignorance.
Why do people complain about your talking? The only time I recall it being that bad was on top ten bosses version 1 ( and no offense but that was the smallest problem on that video)
I did almost everything in FFX. I did not have the patience to dodge lightning 200 times. I got to 100 or so then got struck then said fuck it! Not doing it again! lol HATED THAT!!
there's actually a trick to avoid the "random cards" rule, making the queen of cards quest much easier, here: -go to F.H. and play a game only with the local rules (do not mix rules, keep say no until he/she just want to play a game without mixing rules) -go to the places where you want to play, but first save game outside -reset console -go to the guy you need to play with, say no 4 TIMES to the mixing rule question, then challenge one more time, this time say yes with mixed rules BUT quit the game right after, before the game start =random cards rule removed from that area :D this trick works with every area, you just need to repeat the process....
No need to abolish random rules, just switch between dollet and balamb, if it is neither of those 2, reset. That procedure might be shorter then abolishing random rules in all regions.
Some of the footage came from my past LP. I use a Sherry Icon on ALL of my videos. It protects my video from false copyright claims..and I'm simply in love with Sherry Birkin.
Actually, you don't need to do the Queen of Cards side quest to obtain all cards!! You can win the cards from the Queen herself at disc 4!! She's on the Esthar continent near that escape pod's crash site, but the exact location isn't visible!! There, you can challenge her and win the cards!! The only problem is that she uses all the rare cards each time, it is hard, but MUCH more easy than this side quest!! XD
Maybe to some people, but I rather prefere quick and hard matchs with the Queen, than that lazy-long and boring side-quest, I just hate side-quests that take so much time to complete!!!
That Chocobo racing game in ffx made me want to rip my hair out! It took me an hour and a half to finally get the best score, and made me flip the bird at the screen!
The only minigame that i really pissed off was the catcher chocobo just to get the sun sigil for caladbolg, i spent 2 hours just to beat the perfect records and i gave up, it might break my vita analogs or d-pad. how can they beat the time without getting angry.
Super Genji It's all about luck, I mean, the location of the balloons, I tried for 3-4 hours one day and nothing, then, weeks later I tried it and did it perfectly in the second try, trophy earned :B
I love triple triad. Once you drop random from Dollet's rules you pretty much own the queen of cards. I just make sure she never goes anywhere but Ballamb and Dollet.
Chocobos in IX = for me one of the best sidequests Chocobos in X = well, you did preety good job describing this. Just it needs higher place on this list.
#2 - Because FFXII was a true JRPG. Grinding, exploration, and side questing took center stage. I got the Order of Ambrosia Clan and Wyrm Hero Blade in 120 hours. FFXII has some of the best JRPG gameplay I've played in a longtime. I'm a completionist. I personally thought FFX-2 was great too. #3 Via Infinito was hell, and Trema at the bottom was hell with roller blades, and I loved it. Just got the FFX HD Platinum in 123 hours yesterday. I'm going for the FFX-2 Platinum right now.
FFXII always reminded me of the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, because both of those games in their respective series are very side quest heavy with a lot of minigames and optional quests to complete.
Man... Because of your channel, I replayed FFX and put 80 hours into it. It's truly an incredible game, I enjoyed every minute of it and got to relive an awesome time of my life, and it's thanks to you! Btw I enjoy your LP need a new Top 10 videos! They're always spot on and very interesting, I learn a lot from them. Oh and I've never had trouble understanding your speech, at all.. Your inflection and passion for the game makes it easy to understand imo. Anyways, keep up the good work!
Darkkefka, and everyone else who, like me, hates the Queen of Cards sidequest: you can get her cards without doing her sidequest AT ALL. This can be done in two ways: Method 1: If you wait until Disc 4, you can find the Queen of Cards in the same place where the escape pod from the Lunar Base crashed. You can play cards with her there, and she will have the five rare cards you can get from her sidequest (she won't use all five at once, though, and you can only get one per game anyway). Be warned, though: she will always use the rules she wants, which means: -no Open (you can't see her hand); -Same/Plus/Same Wall (you'll get comboed all the time, and combo her every once in a blue moon); -Random (you can't choose your cards); -Sudden Death (in case of a draw, you start the game over while swapping lost cards, until someone wins); -Elemental (cards get +1 on their numbers if they match the element of the board, and -1 if they don't). Not really worth it, because we have method 2. Method 2: This requires some rules manipulation, but trust me: it's way more doable than the sidequest itself or the above method. The steps are as follows (steps 1 and 2 can be done in any order, as long as both are done before Disc 4): 1. First, we need to manipulate the rules of Trabia: get rid of Random and Plus, and make it so that Trabia only has the Open rule. This can be done as early as Galbadia Garden, where you can shuffle the rules of Galbadia and Trabia thanks to a transfer student from Trabia Garden in there. If you miss that chance, you'll get another one once you can go to Trabia Garden itself; 2. Now, we need to complete the CC Group sidequest in Balamb Garden. This can be completed once you gain control of the mobile Balamb Garden, and it's rather easy to do if you don't mix Balamb's rules with any others (Open rule only); 3. Once those two requirements are met, keep playing the game until Disc 4. Once you regain the Ragnarok, you can find all of the CC Group members inside the airship. You can get every rare card in the game from them, and they play with different region rules. The one we're looking for is Left Diamond: she uses Trabia's rules (which is why we made sure Trabia only had Open) and has every rare card you DON'T have, including cards you lost or spent with Card Mod and the Queen of Cards sidequest's cards (the only rare card you can't farm from her is PuPu). There you go. Now the Queen of Cards can rot in Balamb or Esthar for all we care. ;)
Shoutout to you for dedication. But I like the side quest, as much as I like ff8:). Disk 3 in ff8 is like the "point before no return" of the game so if you dont wannna just go complete the game you dont go to the end of it. Yes I AM a diehard fan of 8...
I love VIII too, but that sidequest is just not worth it... I already hated Caraway's condition to get Rinoa's card (you have to lose Ifrit to him on purpose, then duel him for Rinoa's card, and then go get Ifrit back somewhere else), and the game wants me to do that on steroids? No thanks. I would've never completed my card collection if I hadn't found out about Left Diamond. Besides, I like to leave the Quenn stationed at Balamb, so I can easily apply the All rule to Balamb Garden whenever I need to get lots of cards.
Yes mate. Your methods are by all means more reasonable. It's just that I'd like to do everything possible by the end of disk 3 then stay there for a perfect save. A typical diehard ff fan u could say.... Also bout ifrit, the general is gonna be found in Fisherman horizon later on, you could win it back there. Glad to see an FF8 player doe... kinda rare, idk why.
While it is true that the completion matrix of Final Fantasy 12 is extremely interconnected, I often seek out every hunt for the sake of the hunts themselves and the rest just follows. The hunt rewards and the clan rewards that come with them make them worthwhile in and of themselves. My only problem with FF12 is the blasted bazaar item recipe ingredient requirements. I can NOT tell you how long it took to get even 2 "Hell-Gate Flames", let alone 6 for Tournasol. The first time I played, I made the unholy mistake of killing the Earth Tyrant before getting the ingredients necessary for the Ultima Blade which meant that I could hunt for the Gnoma Entite, and therefore its halcyon, ONLY when the rains fell in Giza. The requirements to get every super bazaar item is a flaming, poisonous Hell on the nerves.
I must've watched these top 10 videos at least 20 times each.They're so entertaining. You really deserve more subs DK. I'd love if you would make an updated version for some of them since XV, VII remake and Kh3 came out since then.Or maybe a new list.
Hunts are the bane of my existence. Square seem to be in love with them, putting them into nearly every Final Fantasy game from X onward in some form. If they are in FF7R, and if there are more than ten or so, I will scream.
I remember the golden chocobo quest in FF7. I looked it up and saw that it looked incredibly tedious and boring, but I really wanted the knights of the round summon. So I saw that you could just get an item from Ruby Weapon to get a gold chocobo. So I went and beat Ruby Weapon and got the chocobo. At the time, I recall thinking the fight seemed to be going on quite a while. I had no idea I'd just beaten one of the gamess optional superbosses with zero preparation. I have no idea how I pulled that off. I sure havent been able to do it that easily since then.
Hey hey.. How about Excalibur II of Final Fantasy IX? In case you don't know about it, the Excalibur II is the most powerful weapon available in Final Fantasy IX, and can only be equipped by Steiner. It has an amazing attack power of 108, its element is Holy, it has no status and teaches the abilities Minus Strike, Climhazzard, and Stock Break. The only way the player can obtain the Excalibur II is to make it to the game's final dungeon, Memoria, into the room Gate to Space (where the party fights Lich) WITHOUT EXCEEDING 12 hours of playtime.
ThePhantomSephiroth I once got 0:0:3 all because I got it by a bird that appeared right on finish line. My friend got a time of 0:0:0 and STILL didn't get the sun sigil.
DarkChaoto Can confirm. I actually did this sidequest for 4-5 hours because I kept having crap luck with the birds appearing at the finish line, and I also several times hit 0:0:0 and didn't get the prize. I started getting so mad. I also got mad at the chocobo race at Remiem, but that only took about two hours. Two hours of frustration, but two hours none-the-less. I was happy to finish them because I officially knew I could 100% the game with all the trophies at that point.
Sphere Break was an interesting concept, but it's horribly designed considering it's completely based on luck. Skill is completely pointless when random luck is going render all your efforts useless. Got 5 combos in a row? Need to keep it going to have any chance of winning? Here's a 1.
Yeah Tetra Master was just for fun (except for the forced tourney in the beginning of disc 3). Triple Triad had very good rewards attached to it and side character plot. And the rules...At least you could just use all your best cards in Tetra Master. Triple Triad had all these rules you had to take into account. And unless you took the time to not spread or get rid of bad rules, you were at the mercy of the game with Random, Win all, etc (think the Space Station).
ff8 is the only one in the main series that i havent played yet (give me a couple of days) but just by watching the few scenes of triad game in this video i can tell you than that is not true, tetra master is even easier than the submarine minigame in ff7
I've been on a DK binge this weekend, and while I've read a lot of comments where people hate or disagree with your videos, I've just thought you did a great job with a series you really seem to enjoy. After getting to #8 though, I really wish I knew you so we could have talked about this game years ago. I found the missions slightly annoying, but they were my favorite part of a game that I only own because my kid was with me when I rented it, saw me watch the "My Hands" trailer at least once a week until the game came out (Seriously, that trailer might be my second favorite part of the game), and knew that's what I should get for Christmas.
Finished the FFX Chocobo Race about a week ago... after 3 straight hours of trying. A nightmare... that whole experience was a nightmare! It's like if Legend of Zelda made an obstacle course where you had to wade through an attacking army of Cuccos while riding Epona... in less than a second!
Just transform all your garbage cards and keep only your rare card, random is not that bad however Direct can go fuck itself in a chocobo's ass this rule is simply unfair you can loose a Rare Card EVEN if you win the game how fair is that ??
Trust me, Plus is worse. WAY WORSE. At least you can get rid of all your lower level cards to make sure Random only gives you good (or at least decent) hands. There's almost nothing you can do, however, to stop the CPU from activating Plus out of nowhere and turning the tables against you in a flash, even if you see its hand with Open.
are you f'ing kidding me?!?! Blitzball was without a doubt the best Mini game in the Final Fantasy Series. I was soooooo disappointed when they didn't have the game in FFX-2. I honestly wished that they made a stand alone game of Blitzball that had a more in dept season / career mode. Kinda like the FiFa series, but underwater.
I found the sidequests in FFXII to be alot of fun and intentionally do them whenever playing through the game as they are far more challenging then the actual plot.
Some ideas for new top tens... Saddest final fantasy moments Ugliest final fantasy characters Best final fantasy characters Greatest final fantasy moments
what do u mean wtf were u thinking in regards to ff12 lol. u say it ur fav along with ff10 just like me. u must know that this is the reason ff12 has like the highest rating out of almost all ff games. everything is perfectly blended. and SO many sidequests. id much rather have a ff12 "remake" on ps4 rather than ff7 lol
I feel like the Butterfly should have been an honorable mention instead of in the top 10 itself. While it IS pretty hard, the butterflies are in fixed locations. I don't know which side quest I'd replace... I mean, yeah, dodging 200 Lightning bolts is difficult, but as you said, you CAN manipulate it!
Dude are you kidding me? I personally thought that the best thing about Final Fantasy 12 was the design of those stories. It was beautiful! You know how hard it is to kill the Hell Wyrm? And how hard it is to do everything you need to do just to have a chance to fight it? That's the whole point! You know how hard it must have been for them to design all those...problems? You have to do this first and then that so that you can do that other thing.....it was beautiful!
It is time most time consuming game ever, though...But that's actually good! I mean, what did you want? Finish it in 12 hours like Final Fantasy 9? (If you finish Final Fantasy 9 in 12 hours you get Excalibur II, I've never done it and I've played the game one million times but the only reason I haven't done it is because I like doing every little sidequest on that game.)
MindBrakerable I have to disagree with all of that. It was just way too time consuming. Even for Final Fantasy! Hunts should not have have been intertwined with the sidequests. I loved doing Hunts. That was my favorite thing about 12. But doing a bunch of bullshit that didn't involve the hunts was extremely annoying .-____-
Angel Alaniz MindBrakerable What I find interesting is that I didn't even notice everything was intertwined so tightly with each other when I went through this game since I like to do everything I can anyway.
Im with you my friend i love FFXII i always try to do everything in it , in this moment i do have 10 espers and a have played 109 hours this game is so cool the best FF game i ever played , now i only have to beat Lindwyrm , Popol , Deathgaze , Catoblepas , Fafnir , Pylraster , Carrot and The Seer :D
Angel Alaniz well yeah, that's true. But I still think that's the best thing. It made you spend a lot of time in the game if you wanted to master it; it wasn't simple. I think that's the best thing, that it wasn't easy.
I actually managed to get Kimahri's sigil with the butterfly mini-game while hitting 1 red butterfly...just the one though, and I only had like 0.2 seconds left. Man, I thought I'd have to start over. It can be done though, just know which direction you need to be going as soon as the end battle screen is over so you don't lose any more time.
Oh my god, breading a gold chocobo in FFVII was a nightmare. Also if you were doing it without a guide (no internet for me back then) you had to periodically visit the chocobo sage who would painstakingly feed you teeny-tiny bits of information on how to actually do it, before saying "oh, I forget" and you had to let something like 5 game hours pass before he gave you the next hint.
SixStringMental I will NEVER do that quest again. If you seem my videos, then you know how I feel about game girls, so this should tell you something....I HATE THIS SIDE QUEST!
Darkkefka , Man I hate this .. how in hell did you get the Doomtrain Card from the pub owner in Timbr.. I'm stuck for hours and the jerk won't play the thing !? help please ?
SixStringMental I loved that quest too, I was so proud I was able to obtain all the cards in FFVIII; nostalgic... I hate the queen of cards though, always changing the rules when I lose, then Im going to reset the game hahaha
FF9's Chocobo Hot and Cold was awesome, what you smokin' fool? "Unfortunately, without this side quest, you can't fight Ozma." Are you kidding? Overly powerful bosses are the worst thing *about* the series. Far worse than the mini-games. Same for you complaining about having to do a *few* (not near as many as you're implying) things to fight Omega or Yiazmat in FF12. Yiazmat is a flaw, why are you pissed that you can't fight him? And especially why are you mad about not getting the Wyrmhero Blade, that thing isn't worth 2 gil! Aside from that, FF12 is awesome. Not gonna defend 13. 13 sucks.
Vic 2.0 No, I wasn't upset. I was just prooving a point. I don't even LIKE the Wyrmhero Blade. The only problem I have with Hot and cold is the time limit and the random Chocograph location. Once My chocobo got faster at digging, wasn't too bad
+Darkkefka Then what about Chocobo breeding in FF7? I like Hot and Cold a lot more than the one in FF7. Almost constantly resetting the game until you get the right colour/gender is too tedious and time-consuming. Wyrmhero blade, i agree on that. Me: "Oh yes finally! The mighty Wyrmhero blade!! Ok so now i'm going to kick.....wait.....where are all the Marks/Bosses????" LOL
+Vic 2.0 13 is actually pretty good if you give it a ghost of a chance; the only thing I hated about it was the "Game Over If Leader Dies" mechanic, which forces you to organize your team like you're playing chess instead of a Final Fantasy game.
cameraREDeye I gave it *two* chances. Beat it twice and never learned to enjoy it. It just takes too much freedom away, for my tastes. Not only is the (lack of) exploration linear, but the character skill development is as well. And the rating system after every battle was just obnoxious.
+Vic 2.0 agree 13 sucks you would have to pay me to play that game lol! i didnt like the paradigm shifts and mechanics and the fact that you cant build your characters on that skill tree until you completed a chapter which i thought was dumb if i wanna grind and am in the mood i wanna grind and its just too linear got to like the 2nd disc on my 360 when i had one and just lost the motivation to play because of those reasons, the only good thing i can say about ff13 is it had good graphics and badass cutscenes but the gameplay jusy ruined it for me.
Queen of cards side quest are one of my favorite in final fantasy games... And it's very addictive game.. If you complete all the cards you will see a yellow star above the name of the card menu... And btw rangerxy is right..
I'm sorry........ But XIII-2 was not better than the first. It was boring and I hate having only two characters to play as. They did not need to make two other games
8:49. There is an easy way to get around that. Just breed another Chocobo (it don´t need to be a good one) and now your Special Chocobo is ready to bang again.
Catcher chocobo grrrrr... I had it so my time equalled 0 exactly but noooooo that's not good enough. I mean I got it quite a few tries later but it's annoying lol
because in FFX, you can keep track up the places you need to get monsters from, and you're characters are overpowered. In FF13-2, you can't keep track of what you missed unless you have a guide or know the game inside out. you need to do certain things just to meet certain monsters
Hey Darkkefka, What's up? Love your videos, and I thought, that after years I should say something. Great video's, bro. Keep it up! I loved Triple Triad, btw, and I personally never had any problems with the Queen of Cards. I believe her father explains which cards you have to lose, and there are very quick and easy methods to manipulate the rules in each region. So once I found out that the father provides hints or whatever, the sidequest was pretty much over. And yeah the whole manipulating rules and waiting for the right dialogue option is kind of tedious, I guess, but DEAR LORD, look at FFXII. That sidequest System should've been number one, if you ask me.
If you did the CC Group sidequest earlier, on the final disk you can actually get the cards from the Queen of Cards side quest by challenging the CC members on the Ragnarok.
that was the first thing I showed, so that was the mention. I don't use Quina at all because I don't like him/her..so that's why it's not offical on my list.
the only problem I have is that about 60% of the side quest are linked in some form or another. A good example is the Chaos Esper. You've got to do many Hunts and Side Quest to obtain it. Another Example is the Tournesol. if you messed up and killed Voress before getting Soul Power, you'll need to go to the second part of the Henne Mines..which means you need 10 Espers, which means you need more Hunts and More Side Quests.
The first time I did the catcher chocobo, I was a kid and it took me a week. But it's actually really easy if you know the trick. It doesn't work all the time but it certainly will within 30 mins of playing this minigame. I got this minigame done in 15 mins. The trick is to avoid birds all the time, you get less balloons, but you finish with an earlier run and 0 birds to add time to your score. (birds actually add an extra 1.5/2 seconds because of the hit animation) To avoid birds: on the first path try to get as many balloons as you can, then when you enter the second path get the first few couple of loons in the center and the moment you see a bird appear on the screen, keep right until the end of this path. Don't bother getting loon unless they're really close, then on the third path keep left at all times. Avoiding birds on this path is hard, but with a little bit of skills you can get through easy (you can try to zig zag on the left side or you can use the invisible wall to push you back on the field when a bird is on the left). This minigame is rage inducing solely because of the birds hitting you... not because you didn't get enough loons, and you can only win this by staying calm and making steady progress. so don't focus on getting the loons, just avoid birds at all cost and eventually you'll end up with a run that has enough loons to get you under 0 seconds. What I'm saying seems obvious, but many players put their priority on getting the loons when they really should be avoiding the birds as a priority.

there's actually a trick to avoid the "random cards" rule, making the queen of cards quest much easier, here:
-go to F.H. and play a game only with the local rules (do not mix rules, keep say no until he/she just want to play a game without mixing rules)
-go to the places where you want to play, but first save game outside
-reset console
-go to the guy you need to play with, say no 4 TIMES to the mixing rule question, then challenge one more time, this time say yes with mixed rules BUT quit the game right after, before the game start
=random cards rule removed from that area :D
this trick works with every area, you just need to repeat the process....
No need to abolish random rules, just switch between dollet and balamb, if it is neither of those 2, reset. That procedure might be shorter then abolishing random rules in all regions.
I keep seeing things about manipulate Triple Triad's rules on internet I have many "ways" no matter which one I do it's just never work for me.
Some of the footage came from my past LP. I use a Sherry Icon on ALL of my videos. It protects my video from false copyright claims..and I'm simply in love with Sherry Birkin.
Actually, you don't need to do the Queen of Cards side quest to obtain all cards!!
You can win the cards from the Queen herself at disc 4!! She's on the Esthar continent near that escape pod's crash site, but the exact location isn't visible!! There, you can challenge her and win the cards!! The only problem is that she uses all the rare cards each time, it is hard, but MUCH more easy than this side quest!! XD
Maybe to some people, but I rather prefere quick and hard matchs with the Queen, than that lazy-long and boring side-quest, I just hate side-quests that take so much time to complete!!!
anybody else love blitzball?! am i the only one? awe...
blitzball is one of my favorite minigames in the final fantasy series
Blitzball is really fun but the amount of games you have to win to get all Wakka's Overdrive and his Ultimate Weapon is just ridiculous.
I played so much blitzball. I didnt even know you needed to do it to get wakkas ultimate shit until i got them as a prize.
Loved Blitzball.
Reminds me of water polo so yes.
Still a series fav of mine haha
That Chocobo racing game in ffx made me want to rip my hair out! It took me an hour and a half to finally get the best score, and made me flip the bird at the screen!
FFXII is life, is love
What's the name of the song that plays during the start of Number 10? It's not the Macalania Theme and I cannot find it
Don't know the actual name of the theme, but just search the FFX OSTs and you'll find it. It plays a few times in the game.
Thanks senpai
Calm Before The Storm
The only minigame that i really pissed off was the catcher chocobo just to get the sun sigil for caladbolg, i spent 2 hours just to beat the perfect records and i gave up, it might break my vita analogs or d-pad. how can they beat the time without getting angry.
So pissed by this side quest that i made my friend, who is also a gamer, get it done for me =p
Agreed, and for that, i gave up
Super Genji It's all about luck, I mean, the location of the balloons, I tried for 3-4 hours one day and nothing, then, weeks later I tried it and did it perfectly in the second try, trophy earned :B
But yeah, soooo fucking annoying.
I love triple triad. Once you drop random from Dollet's rules you pretty much own the queen of cards. I just make sure she never goes anywhere but Ballamb and Dollet.
Chocobos in IX = for me one of the best sidequests
Chocobos in X = well, you did preety good job describing this. Just it needs higher place on this list.
Dude, i LOVE your videos. They're very infectious, and I can't stop chuckling at your commentary no matter what.
#2 - Because FFXII was a true JRPG. Grinding, exploration, and side questing took center stage. I got the Order of Ambrosia Clan and Wyrm Hero Blade in 120 hours. FFXII has some of the best JRPG gameplay I've played in a longtime. I'm a completionist.
I personally thought FFX-2 was great too. #3 Via Infinito was hell, and Trema at the bottom was hell with roller blades, and I loved it. Just got the FFX HD Platinum in 123 hours yesterday. I'm going for the FFX-2 Platinum right now.
i too loved XII, but go through that game again trying to save the antlion hunt for last...
FFXII always reminded me of the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, because both of those games in their respective series are very side quest heavy with a lot of minigames and optional quests to complete.
As an old-school FF fan from waaaay back, I must say that each of these top 10s is pure genius! I love them all! Keep them up!
lol at your f bombs in the chocobo race! lmao!
Man... Because of your channel, I replayed FFX and put 80 hours into it. It's truly an incredible game, I enjoyed every minute of it and got to relive an awesome time of my life, and it's thanks to you! Btw I enjoy your LP need a new Top 10 videos! They're always spot on and very interesting, I learn a lot from them. Oh and I've never had trouble understanding your speech, at all.. Your inflection and passion for the game makes it easy to understand imo. Anyways, keep up the good work!
Darkkefka, and everyone else who, like me, hates the Queen of Cards sidequest: you can get her cards without doing her sidequest AT ALL. This can be done in two ways:
Method 1:
If you wait until Disc 4, you can find the Queen of Cards in the same place where the escape pod from the Lunar Base crashed. You can play cards with her there, and she will have the five rare cards you can get from her sidequest (she won't use all five at once, though, and you can only get one per game anyway).
Be warned, though: she will always use the rules she wants, which means:
-no Open (you can't see her hand);
-Same/Plus/Same Wall (you'll get comboed all the time, and combo her every once in a blue moon);
-Random (you can't choose your cards);
-Sudden Death (in case of a draw, you start the game over while swapping lost cards, until someone wins);
-Elemental (cards get +1 on their numbers if they match the element of the board, and -1 if they don't).
Not really worth it, because we have method 2.
Method 2:
This requires some rules manipulation, but trust me: it's way more doable than the sidequest itself or the above method. The steps are as follows (steps 1 and 2 can be done in any order, as long as both are done before Disc 4):
1. First, we need to manipulate the rules of Trabia: get rid of Random and Plus, and make it so that Trabia only has the Open rule. This can be done as early as Galbadia Garden, where you can shuffle the rules of Galbadia and Trabia thanks to a transfer student from Trabia Garden in there. If you miss that chance, you'll get another one once you can go to Trabia Garden itself;
2. Now, we need to complete the CC Group sidequest in Balamb Garden. This can be completed once you gain control of the mobile Balamb Garden, and it's rather easy to do if you don't mix Balamb's rules with any others (Open rule only);
3. Once those two requirements are met, keep playing the game until Disc 4. Once you regain the Ragnarok, you can find all of the CC Group members inside the airship. You can get every rare card in the game from them, and they play with different region rules. The one we're looking for is Left Diamond: she uses Trabia's rules (which is why we made sure Trabia only had Open) and has every rare card you DON'T have, including cards you lost or spent with Card Mod and the Queen of Cards sidequest's cards (the only rare card you can't farm from her is PuPu).
There you go. Now the Queen of Cards can rot in Balamb or Esthar for all we care. ;)
Shoutout to you for dedication. But I like the side quest, as much as I like ff8:). Disk 3 in ff8 is like the "point before no return" of the game so if you dont wannna just go complete the game you dont go to the end of it. Yes I AM a diehard fan of 8...
I love VIII too, but that sidequest is just not worth it... I already hated Caraway's condition to get Rinoa's card (you have to lose Ifrit to him on purpose, then duel him for Rinoa's card, and then go get Ifrit back somewhere else), and the game wants me to do that on steroids? No thanks.
I would've never completed my card collection if I hadn't found out about Left Diamond. Besides, I like to leave the Quenn stationed at Balamb, so I can easily apply the All rule to Balamb Garden whenever I need to get lots of cards.
Yes mate. Your methods are by all means more reasonable. It's just that I'd like to do everything possible by the end of disk 3 then stay there for a perfect save. A typical diehard ff fan u could say.... Also bout ifrit, the general is gonna be found in Fisherman horizon later on, you could win it back there. Glad to see an FF8 player doe... kinda rare, idk why.
While it is true that the completion matrix of Final Fantasy 12 is extremely interconnected, I often seek out every hunt for the sake of the hunts themselves and the rest just follows. The hunt rewards and the clan rewards that come with them make them worthwhile in and of themselves. My only problem with FF12 is the blasted bazaar item recipe ingredient requirements. I can NOT tell you how long it took to get even 2 "Hell-Gate Flames", let alone 6 for Tournasol. The first time I played, I made the unholy mistake of killing the Earth Tyrant before getting the ingredients necessary for the Ultima Blade which meant that I could hunt for the Gnoma Entite, and therefore its halcyon, ONLY when the rains fell in Giza. The requirements to get every super bazaar item is a flaming, poisonous Hell on the nerves.
I must've watched these top 10 videos at least 20 times each.They're so entertaining. You really deserve more subs DK. I'd love if you would make an updated version for some of them since XV, VII remake and Kh3 came out since then.Or maybe a new list.
I disagree with #9 and #8. I had a lot of fun doing this. Then again, I am probably the only person who had fun platinum FFXIII.
Hunts are the bane of my existence. Square seem to be in love with them, putting them into nearly every Final Fantasy game from X onward in some form. If they are in FF7R, and if there are more than ten or so, I will scream.
I remember the golden chocobo quest in FF7. I looked it up and saw that it looked incredibly tedious and boring, but I really wanted the knights of the round summon. So I saw that you could just get an item from Ruby Weapon to get a gold chocobo. So I went and beat Ruby Weapon and got the chocobo.
At the time, I recall thinking the fight seemed to be going on quite a while. I had no idea I'd just beaten one of the gamess optional superbosses with zero preparation.
I have no idea how I pulled that off. I sure havent been able to do it that easily since then.
Hey hey.. How about Excalibur II of Final Fantasy IX? In case you don't know about it, the Excalibur II is the most powerful weapon available in Final Fantasy IX, and can only be equipped by Steiner. It has an amazing attack power of 108, its element is Holy, it has no status and teaches the abilities Minus Strike, Climhazzard, and Stock Break. The only way the player can obtain the Excalibur II is to make it to the game's final dungeon, Memoria, into the room Gate to Space (where the party fights Lich) WITHOUT EXCEEDING 12 hours of playtime.
^ That.
I didn't even try that one, it is just ridiculous. By that point you aren't playing. It turns the entire game into a fucking burden.
Or overflow the timer by waiting forever (Many months)
The most terrifiying side quest in ff12 is RUNNING WITH RIKKEN.And also fishing
I remember when I got a 0.12 in catcher chocobo.
''FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!''
ThePhantomSephiroth I once got 0:0:3 all because I got it by a bird that appeared right on finish line. My friend got a time of 0:0:0 and STILL didn't get the sun sigil.
ThePhantomSephiroth noob ¬¬ 0.01
DarkChaoto Can confirm. I actually did this sidequest for 4-5 hours because I kept having crap luck with the birds appearing at the finish line, and I also several times hit 0:0:0 and didn't get the prize. I started getting so mad. I also got mad at the chocobo race at Remiem, but that only took about two hours. Two hours of frustration, but two hours none-the-less. I was happy to finish them because I officially knew I could 100% the game with all the trophies at that point.
ThePhantomSephiroth I got 0:0:0 as well and didn't receive the sigil. I wonder if anyone ever got it.
Itsspelledketchup a glitch?
Catcher chocobo, the only one to make me rage and break my PS2
Sphere Break was an interesting concept, but it's horribly designed considering it's completely based on luck. Skill is completely pointless when random luck is going render all your efforts useless. Got 5 combos in a row? Need to keep it going to have any chance of winning? Here's a 1.
Subscribed!!! I love all you videos!! Funny as hell great as heck!! My nephew we enjoyed these top 10s!! Keep up the great video!
I think the riddles in FFXIII-2 were lots of fun :'D
After watching this I felt better about bailing on half the celestial weapon mini-games in FFX. Thanks D.K!
Triple Triad is easier than the mess that was FFIX's mess of a card game.
Agreed!
But unlike the Triple Triad the Tetra Master had just no reward what so ever.
Yeah Tetra Master was just for fun (except for the forced tourney in the beginning of disc 3). Triple Triad had very good rewards attached to it and side character plot. And the rules...At least you could just use all your best cards in Tetra Master. Triple Triad had all these rules you had to take into account. And unless you took the time to not spread or get rid of bad rules, you were at the mercy of the game with Random, Win all, etc (think the Space Station).
ff8 is the only one in the main series that i havent played yet (give me a couple of days) but just by watching the few scenes of triad game in this video i can tell you than that is not true, tetra master is even easier than the submarine minigame in ff7
Triple Triad isn't bad in itself the Queen of Cards sidequest can go to hell fuck this sidequest.
I've been on a DK binge this weekend, and while I've read a lot of comments where people hate or disagree with your videos, I've just thought you did a great job with a series you really seem to enjoy.
After getting to #8 though, I really wish I knew you so we could have talked about this game years ago. I found the missions slightly annoying, but they were my favorite part of a game that I only own because my kid was with me when I rented it, saw me watch the "My Hands" trailer at least once a week until the game came out (Seriously, that trailer might be my second favorite part of the game), and knew that's what I should get for Christmas.
Would you consider getting Excalibur 2 a side quest in ff9? Cause that was pretty annoying.
+Kou Thao That's so not worth it. Steiner is with Ragnarok OP enough as it is.
You don't have to race chocobos to get a g9ld if you do it right there's a few guides to how to do it easily and get a "perfect gold"
Eh, I gotta disagree with Hot & Cold, it wasn't nearly that annoying/hard as other ones on this list.
Finished the FFX Chocobo Race about a week ago... after 3 straight hours of trying. A nightmare... that whole experience was a nightmare! It's like if Legend of Zelda made an obstacle course where you had to wade through an attacking army of Cuccos while riding Epona... in less than a second!
I love hot & cold! This is my favourite mini-game!!!
I think you need to redo the list (love it I will say) where is the battle arena side quest for FFX, 10 of every monster WTF
Fuck random rule in the triple triad, there, i said it.
lol there is a way to abolish random rule.
Just transform all your garbage cards and keep only your rare card, random is not that bad however Direct can go fuck itself in a chocobo's ass this rule is simply unfair you can loose a Rare Card EVEN if you win the game how fair is that ??
There are ways to get rid of rules you hate and have rules you want. It takes a while though but it works.
It never works for me I try for 2 entire days and say fuck it.
Trust me, Plus is worse. WAY WORSE.
At least you can get rid of all your lower level cards to make sure Random only gives you good (or at least decent) hands. There's almost nothing you can do, however, to stop the CPU from activating Plus out of nowhere and turning the tables against you in a flash, even if you see its hand with Open.
Hey DK, is the butterfly now off your list because of how you did it in your recent LP of X HD?
TheGman4747 Pretty much.
Darkkefka so um what would replace it?
the most annoying side quest is in FFX, collecting all monsters
Dude you're awsome, I was having trouble with Chocobo racing and getting frustrated this video cheered me up
are you f'ing kidding me?!?! Blitzball was without a doubt the best Mini game in the Final Fantasy Series. I was soooooo disappointed when they didn't have the game in FFX-2. I honestly wished that they made a stand alone game of Blitzball that had a more in dept season / career mode. Kinda like the FiFa series, but underwater.
Agreed! The only FF-minigame I ever enjoyed.
virgo3008 damn right!!! i want a f'ing full Blitzball game!!!
I found the sidequests in FFXII to be alot of fun and intentionally do them whenever playing through the game as they are far more challenging then the actual plot.
Some ideas for new top tens...
Saddest final fantasy moments
Ugliest final fantasy characters

Greatest final fantasy moments
I just recompleted FFIX and I loved your comment about Ozma. I beat him for the first time recently.
what do u mean wtf were u thinking in regards to ff12 lol. u say it ur fav along with ff10 just like me. u must know that this is the reason ff12 has like the highest rating out of almost all ff games. everything is perfectly blended. and SO many sidequests. id much rather have a ff12 "remake" on ps4 rather than ff7 lol
Thomas Symeonidis i just don't like how many side quest are linked together.
Darkkefka i guess ur right. i may be too much of a completionist so i always overlooked that
Congratulations you got one
I feel like the Butterfly should have been an honorable mention instead of in the top 10 itself. While it IS pretty hard, the butterflies are in fixed locations.
I don't know which side quest I'd replace... I mean, yeah, dodging 200 Lightning bolts is difficult, but as you said, you CAN manipulate it!
Dude are you kidding me? I personally thought that the best thing about Final Fantasy 12 was the design of those stories. It was beautiful! You know how hard it is to kill the Hell Wyrm? And how hard it is to do everything you need to do just to have a chance to fight it? That's the whole point! You know how hard it must have been for them to design all those...problems? You have to do this first and then that so that you can do that other thing.....it was beautiful!
It is time most time consuming game ever, though...But that's actually good! I mean, what did you want? Finish it in 12 hours like Final Fantasy 9? (If you finish Final Fantasy 9 in 12 hours you get Excalibur II, I've never done it and I've played the game one million times but the only reason I haven't done it is because I like doing every little sidequest on that game.)
MindBrakerable I have to disagree with all of that. It was just way too time consuming. Even for Final Fantasy! Hunts should not have have been intertwined with the sidequests. I loved doing Hunts. That was my favorite thing about 12. But doing a bunch of bullshit that didn't involve the hunts was extremely annoying .-____-
Angel Alaniz MindBrakerable What I find interesting is that I didn't even notice everything was intertwined so tightly with each other when I went through this game since I like to do everything I can anyway.
Im with you my friend i love FFXII i always try to do everything in it , in this moment i do have 10 espers and a have played 109 hours this game is so cool the best FF game i ever played , now i only have to beat Lindwyrm , Popol , Deathgaze , Catoblepas , Fafnir , Pylraster , Carrot and The Seer :D
Angel Alaniz well yeah, that's true. But I still think that's the best thing. It made you spend a lot of time in the game if you wanted to master it; it wasn't simple. I think that's the best thing, that it wasn't easy.
lol I actually enjoyed breeding a gold chocobo, is that weird?
Blitzball + that awful card game from ff8. So random, even the tutorials dont help
I actually managed to get Kimahri's sigil with the butterfly mini-game while hitting 1 red butterfly...just the one though, and I only had like 0.2 seconds left. Man, I thought I'd have to start over. It can be done though, just know which direction you need to be going as soon as the end battle screen is over so you don't lose any more time.
F the Butterfly Game!!!
Oh my god, breading a gold chocobo in FFVII was a nightmare. Also if you were doing it without a guide (no internet for me back then) you had to periodically visit the chocobo sage who would painstakingly feed you teeny-tiny bits of information on how to actually do it, before saying "oh, I forget" and you had to let something like 5 game hours pass before he gave you the next hint.
I'm playing the Remastered FF X now and I fucking hate Blitz Ball. :(
Fuck blitzball
SuperFusionAJ93 Blitzball is the shit
It's kinda cool, but a little too boring after you win a lot of times. I mean, getting the Emblem was boring.
+Philo Sophia Recruit Brother and you will love Blitzball ;-)
This channel is very underrated. I love this channel DK!
lol i loved the queen of hearts sidequest. it's super frustrating, but the end results are awesome. man, i miss FF8.
SixStringMental I will NEVER do that quest again. If you seem my videos, then you know how I feel about game girls, so this should tell you something....I HATE THIS SIDE QUEST!
lol i'll make sure to check em out.
Darkkefka , Man I hate this .. how in hell did you get the Doomtrain Card from the pub owner in Timbr.. I'm stuck for hours and the jerk won't play the thing !? help please ?
Darkkefka I was so annoyed that I even looked , most annoying sidequests :/
SixStringMental I loved that quest too, I was so proud I was able to obtain all the cards in FFVIII; nostalgic... I hate the queen of cards though, always changing the rules when I lose, then Im going to reset the game hahaha
Ok, I liked final fantasy 7 chocobo mission. When I actually felt like I had TIME it was quite enjoyable and fun to raise chocobos.
my dad thinks the chocobo mission is fun too!
FFXIII still better than Fallout 4
Dammit! I am literally watching this to hear you get flustered and frustrated. That is a heck of a voice. Well done again.
FF9's Chocobo Hot and Cold was awesome, what you smokin' fool?
"Unfortunately, without this side quest, you can't fight Ozma."
Are you kidding? Overly powerful bosses are the worst thing *about* the series. Far worse than the mini-games. Same for you complaining about having to do a *few* (not near as many as you're implying) things to fight Omega or Yiazmat in FF12. Yiazmat is a flaw, why are you pissed that you can't fight him? And especially why are you mad about not getting the Wyrmhero Blade, that thing isn't worth 2 gil! Aside from that, FF12 is awesome.
Not gonna defend 13. 13 sucks.
Vic 2.0 No, I wasn't upset. I was just prooving a point. I don't even LIKE the Wyrmhero Blade.
The only problem I have with Hot and cold is the time limit and the random Chocograph location. Once My chocobo got faster at digging, wasn't too bad
+Darkkefka Then what about Chocobo breeding in FF7? I like Hot and Cold a lot more than the one in FF7. Almost constantly resetting the game until you get the right colour/gender is too tedious and time-consuming. Wyrmhero blade, i agree on that. Me: "Oh yes finally! The mighty Wyrmhero blade!! Ok so now i'm going to kick.....wait.....where are all the Marks/Bosses????" LOL
+Vic 2.0 13 is actually pretty good if you give it a ghost of a chance; the only thing I hated about it was the "Game Over If Leader Dies" mechanic, which forces you to organize your team like you're playing chess instead of a Final Fantasy game.
cameraREDeye I gave it *two* chances. Beat it twice and never learned to enjoy it. It just takes too much freedom away, for my tastes. Not only is the (lack of) exploration linear, but the character skill development is as well. And the rating system after every battle was just obnoxious.
+Vic 2.0 agree 13 sucks you would have to pay me to play that game lol! i didnt like the paradigm shifts and mechanics and the fact that you cant build your characters on that skill tree until you completed a chapter which i thought was dumb if i wanna grind and am in the mood i wanna grind and its just too linear got to like the 2nd disc on my 360 when i had one and just lost the motivation to play because of those reasons, the only good thing i can say about ff13 is it had good graphics and badass cutscenes but the gameplay jusy ruined it for me.
Queen of cards side quest are one of my favorite in final fantasy games... And it's very addictive game.. If you complete all the cards you will see a yellow star above the name of the card menu... And btw rangerxy is right..
I'm sorry........ But XIII-2 was not better than the first. It was boring and I hate having only two characters to play as. They did not need to make two other games
btw the attack reel, does that return after some point? in the tournament prizes i mean.
"Why do i need a chocobo to fight up there anyway? I HAVE AN AIRSHIP FOR FUCK'S SAKE!"
Ozma just wants you to suffer so he don't die.
this video makes me wonder how i ever had the patience to do some of these quests but i cant sit down and do math homework for more than 10 minutes
Hey Darkkefka, what do you use to record all your gameplay on the PS3?
Getting tidus ultimate weapon in ffx go my god I almost gave up on it but I got it
8:49. There is an easy way to get around that. Just breed another Chocobo (it don´t need to be a good one) and now your Special Chocobo is ready to bang again.
Catcher chocobo grrrrr... I had it so my time equalled 0 exactly but noooooo that's not good enough. I mean I got it quite a few tries later but it's annoying lol
On a side note my blood curled, boiled, pressure increased, etc. right when I heard the triple triad music for ff8 lol
because in FFX, you can keep track up the places you need to get monsters from, and you're characters are overpowered.
In FF13-2, you can't keep track of what you missed unless you have a guide or know the game inside out. you need to do certain things just to meet certain monsters
I have no idea what i'm doing whenever I play the FF9 card game
Hey Dark How much of your time did you take with XII? I took 120 hours, 25 minutes and 36 seconds. And to think I didn't even get to the Hellwyrm.
Hey Darkkefka, What's up? Love your videos, and I thought, that after years I should say something. Great video's, bro. Keep it up!
I loved Triple Triad, btw, and I personally never had any problems with the Queen of Cards. I believe her father explains which cards you have to lose, and there are very quick and easy methods to manipulate the rules in each region. So once I found out that the father provides hints or whatever, the sidequest was pretty much over.
And yeah the whole manipulating rules and waiting for the right dialogue option is kind of tedious, I guess, but DEAR LORD, look at FFXII. That sidequest System should've been number one, if you ask me.
The number minigame in 13-2 was actually really fun for me. I found it clever when you know how the clock works
If you did the CC Group sidequest earlier, on the final disk you can actually get the cards from the Queen of Cards side quest by challenging the CC members on the Ragnarok.
Tidus being named "Shuyin 2" is the highlight of my morning.
Hey man, I think your vids are awesome, makes me nostalgia ! KKeep up the good work :)
that was the first thing I showed, so that was the mention. I don't use Quina at all because I don't like him/her..so that's why it's not offical on my list.
the only problem I have is that about 60% of the side quest are linked in some form or another.
A good example is the Chaos Esper. You've got to do many Hunts and Side Quest to obtain it.
Another Example is the Tournesol. if you messed up and killed Voress before getting Soul Power, you'll need to go to the second part of the Henne Mines..which means you need 10 Espers, which means you need more Hunts and More Side Quests.
The first time I did the catcher chocobo, I was a kid and it took me a week. But it's actually really easy if you know the trick. It doesn't work all the time but it certainly will within 30 mins of playing this minigame. I got this minigame done in 15 mins. The trick is to avoid birds all the time, you get less balloons, but you finish with an earlier run and 0 birds to add time to your score. (birds actually add an extra 1.5/2 seconds because of the hit animation)
To avoid birds:
on the first path try to get as many balloons as you can, then when you enter the second path get the first few couple of loons in the center and the moment you see a bird appear on the screen, keep right until the end of this path. Don't bother getting loon unless they're really close, then on the third path keep left at all times. Avoiding birds on this path is hard, but with a little bit of skills you can get through easy (you can try to zig zag on the left side or you can use the invisible wall to push you back on the field when a bird is on the left).
This minigame is rage inducing solely because of the birds hitting you... not because you didn't get enough loons, and you can only win this by staying calm and making steady progress. so don't focus on getting the loons, just avoid birds at all cost and eventually you'll end up with a run that has enough loons to get you under 0 seconds. What I'm saying seems obvious, but many players put their priority on getting the loons when they really should be avoiding the birds as a priority.
i found the invi treasure box im using FFXII IZJS english version the only problem is... it tooks me a 5hrs to get the seitengrat bow and still i dont have it.... what is the drop rate of that weapon DK? i have diamond bangle eqiuped in Vaan.... sorry for wrong spell and grammar
so I need to ask~ do you use steam to get your ff games? if not what recording software do you use?
Chocobo catcher was by far the most rage inducing mini game I've ever played.
keep up the good work dk! cant wait for your next top 10 :]
I managed Catcher Chocobo on my first attempt for the Sun Sigil and won it.
Gets hit by bird. "Fhuck". Too dam accurate.
I'm actually very surprised that catcher chocobo was only number 7 on the list
Trust me it's not worth all the aggro, just put break damage limit onto tidus's best sword, it's worked just as well
Dan Galloway It's still infuriating
